The result is a massed display of over 1000 trees; many of which you will rarely see anywhere else in the UK. We were awarded National Collection Status in 1994. In addition to the arboretum, we run a specialist nursery where you can buy many of the trees displayed in the arboretum. We are happy to discuss all aspects of trees displayed in the arboretum.

People will need to beep their horn if the gates to the site are locked, someone will open them up. During the week the private road beside the orchard has large vehicles moving through so parents need to be aware. The orchard is enclosed by an electric fence with gates.

The photographers Kati and Ian Byrne of Developing Dreams show impressions of life in countries such as Cuba, China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia and France. Ian Byrne, the founder of Developing Dreams, said: "The theme of 'Mo.tion' is two-fold. It is about people and objects in motion as well as the photographers being in motion through their travels. These are like a collision of cultures and moments. The traveller becomes stationary and it is the world around him that moves. Instead of travelling around the world the world travels around the photographer and it is these moments you capture and show". As part of 'Mo.tion', The Foundry will show short films by independent film maker Matthew Schroder and artist Natalia Szostak including the award-winning music video "Window" featuring up and coming Polish artist Bajzel. The launch event will be on Wednesday 26 November with live jazz band and DJ.

Organiser: The Woodland Trust
County: Staffordshire
Town: Newcastle-under-Lyme
Location: Nr Cleveland Avenue
Event details: There is currently a lack of mature trees within the area. The expansion of Lymdale Business Park, less than a mile away has unfortunatley given the residents an outlook of large industrial units on the horizon. This part of Knutton should be given a more naturalistic character. Open spaces that permeate the area should be the focus for the community interaction engendering a real sense of local pride and identity. On the day there will be mass planting of mixed shrub species and trees (willow, ash, field maple, birch and wild cherry). The fence that currently forms a barrier to the elongated area of open space alongside Cleveland Road should be removed to help provide both a more interesting route through this area. The opportunity should be taken to increase and enhance the area for wildlife value, in accordance with Newcastle Borough Council's Bio-Diversity policy. Newcastle countryside project has a team of volunteers who have agreed to help. Other agencies will be matching funding. Parking is available on Cleveland Avenue.
